He ate shots from Dan Henderson, who has extremely heavy hands, and didnt seem at all fazed......

.....plus he's had MT fights. I'm pretty sure he got hit on the face in those.

I'd have to rewatch the Hendo fight, but I don't recall Dan landing any shots flush to his grill. As for his MT fights, I've never seen any of them so I couldn't say. You do I have a point though that he likely ate some shots in them.

Silva ate some good punches against Jorge Rivera and Lee Murray without seeming too bothered. I don't know how much it'll matter, because I don't think Cote is either fast enough or accurate enough to hit him flush.

Come to think of it, we really have no idea what kind of chin Silva has. Or at least I don't. When has it ever been truly tested? I thought Irvin would at least land a few shots before going down and I was looking forward to seeing Silva deal with some heavy hands. So much for that.

I believe in Silva's 2nd fight with Franklin, Rich landed a good right hand, flush on Silva's jaw. Silva blinked, and that was well. Not tested against a puncher like Cote (that I know of anyway), but he's got a good chin, and it will take a very good punch to knock him down, let alone KO him.

Cote said words to the effect of that he's prepared to eat a few to land his bombs because he's confident he hits that much harder. Irvin said much the same thing before he got dropped with one punch. Cote also said his gameplan is to keep coming forward. I like the guy as a fighter but I'll be impressed if he lasts a round.

There are a few guys in the UFC who seem to not get knocked down too often, and the majority seem have really big heads and jaws. Jackson, Penn, Silva, Randy, they all have really wide necks and jaw lines, and all have been knocked down a choice few times (usually by really big punchers like Liddell or Silva). I have a theory, albeit really unfounded in any scientific or medical knowledge, that people with this kind of head/face construction are predisposed to taking hits. Fedor is another.
